Chapter 327: Answering the Order (I)
Zhao Mansion
The wide door, hearing the faint sound of busyness in the house, this house is not big, but there are also a few corridors and a garden, but at this time everyone is busy, walking through it, a small heart, the heart will bump into a busy person, these people are preparing for their own master to pack some bags.
Zhao Yuanjing has only been in the office for three years, and his grade is not high, but it is said that in three years, the Qing Governor's Mansion has 100,000 snowflakes of silver, Zhao Yuanjing is not the prefect, and the secret pavilion is very important, and he can't get 100,000 taels of silver, but even so, it is completely different from three years ago.
Three years ago, the Zhao family was just an ordinary cultivator, although the Zhao family has a wide branch, there are a few rooms in the lineage, but most of them are food and clothing, and after three years of entering the office, there are many people to flatter.
The land, the shop, the slaves and maids all had children, and not only did the family move to the mansion, but the relatives were taken care of, and the clan also had a hundred acres of sacrificial fields.
Now that they have received the order to be transferred, the Zhao family is rejoicing.
Dacheng was founded not long ago, but the current situation shows that this dynasty has been prosperous from the beginning.
Today is the founding emperor, the ancestor of this dynasty, it is not uncommon to have a deed, the key is to be young and promising, now only twenty-five years old, at least able to rule the world for twenty years, the emperor's heirs are not scarce, there are three princes born, the queen has a son-in-law, the emperor and queen have a harmonious relationship, unless there is a big change, such a dynasty, at least can continue for a few generations.
Moreover, with the opening of the customs, trade with other countries and even Western Qin (Western Continent) has been formed, and the annual income is more than 6 million taels of silver, and the country is thriving.
In such a situation, whether the family has a prominent position is related to the rise or fall of the family in the next few decades.
Zhao Yuanjing, as a civil official from the Secret Pavilion, is not an important minister, but he will not be underestimated, because he was born in the Secret Pavilion, as long as he has merits during his foreign tenure, he will be promoted after the expiration of the term, and people have expectations for Zhao Yuanjing's career.
At this moment, the carriage arrived at the door, and the coachman shouted: "The master has returned home!"
There was a housekeeper who came out, and when he saw that the old man was drunk and asleep, he hurriedly helped him in, and when he reached the halfway, he saw a woman coming out, and this woman was very dignified and beautiful.
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Madame, old man is drunk." ”
"I'll help you into the house. This lady Zhao Anshi is Zhao Yuanjing's wife, and she carefully helped him in.
Turning the interstitial screen, he went to the back five upper rooms, where parrots hung in the corridor, and then two maids greeted him and helped him inside, and lay down on the bed.
"You're waiting. Madame said, she still had to tidy up, and could not rest, so she commanded.
"Yes, ma'am. The two maids saluted and watched her go away.
In the early morning of the second day, the sunlight shone in through the hollow pattern of the carved wooden window, and the colorful light fell on the soft collapse, and the air was filled with the unique fragrance of the early morning, and the man lying on the soft collapse woke up at this time.
He drank a lot of wine last night, and until now his head was still slightly painful, and as soon as Zhao Yuanjing, who was lying on the collapse, woke up, he couldn't help rubbing his head and sitting up straight.
Thinking of last night's excitement, Zhao Yuanjing couldn't help but shake his head, most of these people are colleagues, some are close friends, a few are also scholars, and some are businessmen with some connections.
Now I have to be transferred out for three years, I'm afraid that these people won't be able to see each other for three years, not only that, even if they are transferred back in the future, it will be difficult to meet, even if they are people from the Secret Literature Pavilion, they can really become important ministers, or very few, they will be scattered in all provinces under the world.
Because of the transfer, the emperor gave him a special leave, and he could go back to the secret pavilion tomorrow to bid farewell to the emperor.
Although it was dawn, Zhao Yuan couldn't stand up, just thinking about the past, until his body was a little cold, he came back to his senses and wanted to change his clothes and go to the ground.
I wanted to change my clothes by myself, look at the shirt stained with alcohol, and smell the smell of my body, Zhao Yuanjing couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Someone. He shouted loudly outside.
He rarely drinks alcohol, and he doesn't go to the painting side often, not because he is old-fashioned, but his family education is very strict, and his family is not wealthy at that time.
As an official, it is a secret pavilion, and it is a confidential place, and he does not dare to be so presumptuous.
Thinking about coming to the front to say goodbye to his mother for a while, he had to be reprimanded by his mother again, he rubbed his somewhat sore head and smiled bitterly.
The Zhao family is not the Jinling family, but since he was an official in Jinling, his mother came to take care of it, in his mother's words, if there is no person in charge of the back house, there is a housekeeper to take care of it, and he can rest easy?
Now he has a wife and shares the family chores.
"Sir. Just as he was thinking, someone outside heard the sound and walked in, and the voice was very soft.
"Is it you? You and Mu'er are back?" Zhao Yuanjing was slightly stunned when he saw the person who came in, it was his wife Zhao Anshi who came in.
Two days ago, Zhao An's parents missed their grandson, because Zhao An's was originally from Jinling, not far away, and he was afraid that he would not be able to see his parents for three years, so he took his child back to his parents' house and didn't want to see her in the morning.
Zhao An's family is dignified and beautiful, and she has only been married for less than three years, but she is just a twenty-year-old young woman, although she gave birth to a son, she still looks a little girlish.
Seeing that the husband asked, Zhao Anshi said: "Father and mother have seen Mu'er, and they have stayed at home for two days, I came back yesterday, and besides, my husband will leave Beijing in two days, and our mother and son will follow to take office, and it will take some work to clean up, it is a busy time, how can I not come back?"
Zhao Yuanjing got up, paced a few steps, and said to her apologetically: "I am a remote county, not as good as Jinling, but I am afraid that this three-year term will make you two suffer with me." ”
"Whatever the husband says, the husband and wife have the same heart. The husband has mentioned the matter of external transfer before, and he will not become a minister of the county without being transferred, but now he is considered to be full of wishes, and it is too late for the concubine to be happy for the husband, how can he feel bitter?" Zhao Anshi said with a smile, paused, and said: "The concubine was originally just an ordinary family, but now it is expensive with her husband, the wife of the county master, which county is stronger than the original family, why do you feel bitter?"
Zhao Anshi was born in a local scholarly family in Jinling, read more books, has some understanding of the current situation, and knows that it is a good thing for his husband to transfer this time, although the life of the three-year term is indeed not as detailed as in Jinling, but at the end of the three-year period, he can come back, but he cannot be transferred back to Jinling, and he will also be promoted and go to the county to serve as an official.
Although she is reluctant to have her parents in Jinling, she is married and follows her husband, which is not a problem.
Looking at his empathetic wife, Zhao Yuanjing laughed.
"Husband, the concubine has asked people to prepare some light meals, which can be used after washing. Knowing that the husband just called someone to serve him to get up and change his clothes, these Zhao Anshi had already ordered people to prepare: "I saw you sleeping fragrantly yesterday, it's rare to be like this, I'm afraid that I will help you change your clothes and wake up, so I didn't change them." ”
Working in the Secret Pavilion, busy work, the rules are very heavy, trembling, cautious, even sleeping is not fragrant, this is indeed a fact, thinking of this, Zhao Yuanjing felt relieved in his heart, he went to be the county commander, that is, Baili Hou, as long as there is no mistake, you can sleep peacefully.
At this time, a maid came in with clean clothes and clean water, and Zhao Anshi personally served her husband to take care of it, and went out together.
The two of them asked the old lady to say goodbye, and the old lady told her a few more words, because the daughter-in-law was present, the old lady did not teach a lesson, but just told not to be greedy for this kind of fireworks land.
Zhao Yuanjing didn't dare to contradict his mother, so he was busy.
Next, the husband and wife had breakfast in the small flower hall, the dishes were very light and refreshing, knowing that his wife was specially ordered to make it for herself, Zhao Yuanjing's eyes were a little softer.
At this time, most of them got married on the wedding night, and the husband and wife saw each other for the first time, Zhao Yuanjing was not dissatisfied with his wife, but he didn't have much affection at the beginning.
With the two having a son, the relationship gradually got better, and now it is warm.
The day was busy and fulfilling.
Zhao Yuanjing not only resigned to the elders in Jinlingli, but also participated in the small gathering held by others for him.
When I get home after a busy day, it's sunset.
At this time, Zhao An's family was at home, commanding to take care of everything, and the things he brought on the road were all packed up.
The old lady saw that her beloved son had a good life, and the eldest daughter-in-law was docile and able to run the house, and she was happy and a little reluctant.
"Jing'er, the family has prepared all the things you used on the road this time, and this time you will go out and bring more people, and when you get there, you must always be good to call for your own talents. The old lady said.
Zhao Yuan hurriedly agreed, and the old lady said a few words to her daughter-in-law, and asked, "When will you leave Jinling?"
Zhao Yuanjing said: "Mother, I will leave Jinling early in the morning after tomorrow. ”
Hearing that her son was about to leave so soon, the old lady had to advise: "If you lack anything, just take care of it in the next two days, the place you go to is a county town, and I am afraid that some things will not be able to be purchased at that time." ”
Not only Zhao Yuanjing, but Zhao Anshi also got up to respond.
The old lady was a little older, and after talking to her son and daughter-in-law, she dispersed.
"Husband, tomorrow morning, you have to go back to the Secret Pavilion to bid farewell to the emperor, and rest in peace early!" Seeing that Husband Jun had some fatigue on his face, Zhao Anshi said.
Zhao Yuanjing was a little tired, and this entertainment was even more tiring than his work in the cabinet, so he rested by himself, not much to say.
The next morning, when it was just dawn, Zhao Yuanjing woke up and freshened up, and rode in a carriage towards the palace.
Entering from the main gate, to the Danqi Grand Plaza, it was peaceful.
At this time, it was time to go to court, and the cabinet ministers had the privilege of going in to rest, and the hundred courtiers who were not the cabinet were all standing, and at this time they gathered together to greet each other and talk.
Zhao Yuanjing greeted several ministers, and he was able to enter the Secret Pavilion, and found that the Secret Pavilion was a little lively today, although it was still a little early, there were some people inside.
These people are all first-class officials, and when they saw Zhao Yuanjing coming forward to say hello, knowing that Zhao Yuanjing was going to be transferred out for three years, they were full of envy on their faces
Although it is said that if you go down to a remote county to be an official, you will only be promoted after three years, and this officialdom can be done step by step early, but if you are one step later, you don't know how much you will be left behind.
Zhao Yuanjing came over today, in fact, the main thing was to resign to the emperor, and the handover was done two days earlier, so he just smiled at the moment, sat down, drank tea and waited.
Half an hour later, I saw a chamberlain come in and say, "Where is Lord Zhao? ”
"Yes!" Zhao Yuanjing immediately stood up and responded.
